We often complain about weather on Earth, but what about Space Weather?
by William Atkins, updated 2007-04-20 00:37:55
Space weather concerns various environmental conditions that occur in outer space. But, does it affect us on the Earth?
Space Solar Power could generate power from solar energy with satellites by William Atkins, updated 2007-04-12 03:18:28
Space solar power (SSP) is a concept that has yet-to-be developed, which would convert the energy of the Sun into electrical power from artificially-made satellites.
U.S. computer scientist and FORTRAN developer John W. Backus dead at 82 by William Atkins, updated 2007-03-21 03:48:01
John Warner Backus, born December 3, 1924, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, died Saturday, March 17, 2007, at his home in Ashland, Oregon. All computer users and the public in general owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Backus’ efforts that paved the way to our modern computing systems.
Mathematical conversions that make sense by William Atkins, updated 2007-02-24 06:16:29
What is the ratio of an igloo's circumference to its diameter? The answer: Eskimo Pi.
Remembering the Nobel Prize Laureates in 2006 by William Atkins, updated 2007-01-22 03:51:37
The 2006 Nobel Prizes have been awarded for people who invented, researched, discovered, and contributed to the world in very important ways. Let’s remember (and reflect) at the beginning of 2007 about these men and women for the contributions they have made to society—for each and every person in the world.
What number year is 2007 in the twenty-first century and third millennium? by William Atkins, updated 2007-01-09 00:25:55
With the year 2007 upon us, it is important, in my opinion, to know how many years we are into the third millennium. Back on December 31, 1999, most people celebrated the beginning of the New Millennium with bubbly drinks, noise makers, and a countdown to the big moment—while others waited by their computer to see if the Y2K (Year 2000) bug would hit.
Hubble and other space telescopes by William Atkins, updated 2007-01-08 00:29:48
We hear much news about the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and, sometimes, it seems that it is the only telescope in space. However, it is not. HST, like other space observatories, is an instrument launched into outer space that is used by astronomers to observe planets, stars, galaxies, and other space objects.
New carbon nanotube technology could be used to build 22,300-mile long space elevator by William Atkins, updated 2007-01-06 09:15:49
The Space Elevator—an elevator that would go up and down between the Earth’s surface and a point in space above the Earth—has been a topic of science and science fiction for years. However, no materials existed that were strong enough to actually build it. In the twenty-first century, that is no longer the case.
